Can't mod local files. What am I missing?

The subject says it all. I have PHP5 working fine on my XP Pro box under
IIS. However, I can't rename, create, or write to local files. I can read
local files with no trouble.

I have set IIS to "write" in the Home Directory tab of the web site
properties, but that's clearly not enough. And I've been all through the
php.ini file looking for a way to turn on file access, to no avail.

Anybody know what am I missing?

You need to give the user that IIS is running as write permissions on
the directory or files you wish to change. He usually runs as
IUSR_MACHINENAME or something like that. Doing it in the IIS manager
isn't enough -- you need to do it in the file system (Explorer) also.
